I love these cheesy pizza gems because they’re so quick to make when I’m craving pizza. They’re a simple no-cook snack that hits the spot. They’re handy when you or the kids need a quick snack during the day.
They’re also great for kids’ lunchboxes or as a small appetizer for movie nights and casual get-togethers. All you need are your favorite savory biscuits, cottage cheese, veggies, and processed cheese. Assemble the ingredients into small bites, and they’re ready to serve.
There’s no cooking involved, so you can make them ahead of time and serve them later. They take about 15 minutes to put together.
They’re good on their own, but you can also serve them with a dipping sauce, dressing, or ketchup.
How to Make Cheesy Pizza Gems

- ½ cup bell pepper, finely diced

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, add the grated cottage cheese, diced bell pepper, chopped coriander, Schezwan sauce, grated potato, peri-peri spice mix, and salt. Mix well.
2. Take one savory biscuit and spread a spoonful of the cheese and veggie mixture evenly over the top. Repeat with the remaining biscuits.
3. Arrange the prepared biscuits on a tray or clean surface. Top each one with grated processed cheese.

Serve and Enjoy!
Serve them immediately, or store them for later.
Important Recipe Notes:
- Assemble just before serving: You can prepare the cheese and veggie mixture ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble the pizza gems right before serving. This keeps the biscuits crisp and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- For warm, gooey cheese, use a kitchen torch to lightly melt the cheese on top just before serving.
